Jer only has to outdo himself everynight. But this show the supporting staff really makes this everything Ive come to love from the band. First, one drummer

makes reduces the distractions, Keith is just fantastic with fabulous touch, and Phil just superb. In particular Stella Blue cant be beat. Finally, one of the intruiges of this show is the completely unorthodox set list. Stella Blue->Big River? Dark Star->El Paso?

This was a super show. Sadly though it was first time seeing the Dead where I held up my hand and the entire bad was obscured. I was shocked by the size
...
of the crowd. I had been over seas and had not seen the Dead since 1971 Filmore and Port Chester shows. I was bummed that I was way back behind a huge crowd. Still, I the show is really well played and I have come to love 73 though not as much as 69-71! I took a big hiatus after feeling so lost in Roosevelt Stadium and Didn't see the dead until 80 or 81. My loss. but here on the Archive everthing becomes possible! Thank you so much to everyone who makes this site possible. Happy BD Jerry.

i personally think this show is one of the most overrated of 1973, second only to 7/28 a few days before. the sound in the first set is listenable, but
...
not good.
i find this version of 'Eyes' to be very overrated as well- i have no idea why this is included on the 10 top all-time best list. like someone else said, just too unfocused. perhaps it will gel with more listens, but i could list a dozen or more versions which are far superior.
still, there are some very nice jams in the second set, specifically during the 1st half of Dark Star. Morning Dew is great also.

I looked up this show because out of over 100 shows I saw it was one I will always remember as though it was yesterday. For those of you who rate it highly,
...
you nailed it and Im amazed that that you were able to from the quality of these tapes. Some memories: at the end of Casey Jones for the cresendo, the roadcrew released about a dozen fire estinguishers that sent a slow rolling clous of co2 over the crowed and air conditioned the stadium on a ver hot night. Then during the break little 3x5 pieces of paper were sent throught the crowd (alledegedly from the road crew and alledgedly Owsleys finest ) with the verbal instructions to "rip off a piece you thin you can handle" . All I can say is that by the time intermission was over my friends and I were in orbit on the cleanest trip I ever had. Then the second set opened up and fireworks were set off behind the stage and Happy Birthday Jerry fireworks were lit off around the upper deck of the stadium. Jerry's birthday party was on and thats what you all hear in this music. A VERY special show indeed, I just wish you all could have been there.

This show just goes to show the commitment of every member of this group to creating beautiful, mind-bending, utterly amazing music, despite the death
...
of one of the band's core members a few months prior. Miles2184 makes a great point about Jerry's supernatural musical gifts, but this show proves how much the rest of the band cannot be downplayed. Bob Weir, while a protege of Jerry, was integral to the Grateful Dead, just as Jerry was. If Bob had passed first, I know Jerry would have continued, and I personally view it as a tribute to Jerry that the rest of the members of the Grateful Dead continue to bring this amazing music to young, inspired minds everywhere.

Subject: One Of The Best Dark Stars Ever
This has always been one of my favorite shows. I have had parts of it since the late 70's. For a long time, I only had the Dark Star>El Paso>Eyes
...
>Dew, and am so happy to be able to get the whole show now. To me this is one of the great Dark Stars of all time. The jam after the verse is spacy and sweet, and the transition into El Paso is very smooth, and actually works very well. The Eyes is one of those classic 20 minute '73 versions with the Stronger than Dirt jam at the end, and the Dew is one of the slowest I have heard. The rest of the show really rocks as well. The Sound is excellent!!
As an aside, the dark Star>El Paso jam is one that we would often play in the hotel after shows as everyone was getting ready for bed and trying to crash out. This was not because it is a boring jam, it is definitely not that, but the jam after the verse and into El Paso is long and very spacey and is a perfect jam to get your mind to stop racing and relax, it worked every time!!
Get this show!!

This Dark Star is amazing. Right out of the start, the easiness of the flow establishes that magical realm we know and love (and seek out again and again

The Dark Star>El Paso>Eyes>Dew section would merit the highly coveted 6th star on its own...
And the crowning seventh is due to the ABSOLUTELY PERFECT MIX (thank you, David Gans)
btw, the rest of the show doesn't sound as good but it's still great music, the whole night (Jerry's b-day) was blazing.

They really made it up to us in these two excellent shows. I was right up front as usual for Jerry's birthday and boy was he munching on a lot of watermelon about a half hour before the show.

Subject: Good Recoding strategy
The most notable thing here, besides the playing and fun had at the show, is how well this sounds - it seemingly has that desired mix of mostly board,
...
but with enough audience that it feels more like being there than most shows provide. Neither plastic (sign of too much board) nor distant (sign of weak audience tracks), we are transformed/transported well into the night's festivities.
A plus from this era - it is always special to see/hear Jerry as lead on four of five consecutive tunes (ROW>DARK STAR>el paso>EYES>DEW), which genuinely notes/archives how deeply Jerry would get in a groove that no one (especially the other members) wanted to end, and he delivered accordingly. And, further more, this only goes to prove why this band should have stayed silent after his passing, for, as Pete Townsend commented about bringing in 17 instruments when they performed TOMMY and QUADROPHENIA, "Look what we had to do to replace Keith Moon" - no reorganization or replacement effort can supply the artistic/beauty levels Jerry brought to the table. Jerry was already (born) at the artistic level most of the other members sought (why they followed his "lead" in more ways than just onstage), and only Mickey has (independently) reached close to such levels since.

don't know what was going on in and around the band at this specific time but the emergence of this nights configuration indicates a unique creative force had been folling them around.

The Eyes is upbeat and and the melody is sweet except for a few little strange turns of the guitar after the first chorus but by this time youve probably already been turned inside out and are floating off the ground anyway sound just enjoy the muse.

so Jerry does Ham away during the Star>Paso>Eyes>Dew, but Phil is what drives the Dark Star pre verse jam. this guy is in top form as he just

reaches out of the galaxy to create his bass runs. this is easily a top 5 jam for me. next, the El Paso segue was pretty common in 72' and this is a prime example. maybe not as smooth as the Rhein Hall show from the Europe tour, but good none the less. People say that the Eyes is "unfocused", well i like this one a lot because it is quite different than other Eyes. Jerry takes off like a mad man, and Bobby really compliments him well here. The ending is pure Jerry soul as he steals my face. Morning Dew is the perfect way to end, and the climax just seems to never come. amazing. sound is pretty good too.

I've only heard the Dark Star thru Dew segment of this. By '73 standards, the Eyes is a tad unfocused and the Dew a mite sloppy. But the Dark Star is
...
fantastic and unique. The part I play over and over is the pre-verse jam, roughly minutes 3 - 12 of this Star. At lightning speed, ideas emerge and themes unfold. Out of this full-band dynamic an awesome groove develops, at once uncontrolled chaos and tight funky jam. Brilliant.
Bill's drums are louder than normal in the mix, a nice change in sound not heard on too many tapes. If you dig unique Dead music, this Dark Star is a must-hear.

This show is worth the download if only for the Dark Star > El Paso > Eyes > Dew segment. This portion was remastered by GDH host David Gans
...
and sounds spectacular! The feel in the early portion of Dark Star is similar to the great jam before Wharf Rat in the 7/27/73 soundcheck just five days earlier, and the energy is just great throughout. Also, the mix seems to be switched, as if you're sitting at Billy's drums with Jerry and the ride cymbal to the right and Bobby, Keith, and the hi-hat on the left... which is great for air drumming while driving (not the stop-n-go sort)... not that I condone that sort of thing. =)
